I go to school in America, and I'm taking US History... Most of the class is "America ****** up the world. We should feel bad. The American Revolution shouldn't have happened. Now study awesome American values and come up with a way to make it into a new constitution for people in the middle east so everywhere can be America."

...I don't know exactly what my teacher thinks of this country.

I was under the impression history told of events of the past. Not that events needed to be X years old to start counting as history.

Unless we happen to be Native Americans, in which case you can go right ahead and continue sucking your fathers dick for his love and attention.

okay i see, you didnt got my point of that statement.

you didnt killed the indians and we (I) didnt killed innocent people. our ancestors did this.
the "modern" germany is far away from killing millions of people (except for a small amount of neo-nazis, but they are just a bunch faggots)

They probably show it from the most honest viewpoint.

Considering how the US textbook tells most about WW2 as the war, and not the politics.

I would suspect the German Textbook to tell the war as it is, about what all Hitler did, about how he helped bring them out of a bad economy (Correct me if I'm wrong.) But they would also tell about his corruption.

US history books show the American part of the war, and little else.

This has led to the misunderstanding that the US was the most important ally against the Germans, while it was actually the discredited Soviet Union.

As for politics, it fueled both Germany and the Soviet Union, and they kept clashing together backing themselves up with loads of propaganda.

No history books can teach you what the war was really about without putting too much focus on one thing, making you believe that was the winning factor.

Yeah, I'm german and I approve of this. It's mainly about politics, the war takes a much lesser part within the lessons.

Everybody's QQing about how america apparently censors our history. I don't know if it's just that I live in a blue state, but my American History courses have always been taught as "American is evil 101".
The course syllabus read like this:
-Native Americans got ****** over
-Slavery
-Imperialism
-Civil Rights Movement
